You need to take your cat to a veterinary doctor for an exam and for treatment of the lice. She may also have sarcoptes mites. This can be treated very easily with an ivermectin injection. Being so infested with lice can make a cat very ill as the lice will suck her blood and then she can get anemic. Since she is grooming a lot she is probably ingesting a lot of hairs which makes hair balls which she will try to get rid of by regurgitation. You can get a so-called "hairball remedy paste" in a pet shop or your local pharmacy or at the vet. This paste will help your cat get rid of the hairballs. But you need to take Pussy to a vet so she can be treated for the lice. Here is a veterinary doctor in your area : http://placesmap.net/IN/Veterinary-Hospital-Balurghat-92464/
